Synopsis

What kind of person do we want in the White House? How do Presidential candidates get nominated? Does advertising really "sell" a Presidential candidate? How can the process of nomination and election to the Presidency be made more representative and responsible? In "Choosing the President," noted authorities examine these questions and others, analyzing through recent events the changing rules of "eligibility," the influence of mass media campaigns, and the strategies of organizing a campaign. In addition, the contributors discuss the nominating procedure, the effects of recent reforms, and possible future reforms of candidacy, campaigns, and election processes.
